What is one to make of Irfan Ahmed. As a blogger he has risen from obscurity to become one of the top “celebrities” in the Lib Dem blogosphere. As a person, I know very little of him other than the fact that he lives in Preston and doesn’t like Saj Karim very much. Reading his blog recently, I was particularly struck by this quote:
This is a great point that was made by David as this is definitely what the Electorate is going to look at. They want a Prime Minister and Government that can offer them a good economic package that would benefit the ordinary person and big business, they don’t want a leader or government that will talk and talk about family life and rule out the economy.
Possibly the most exciting thing to discover is that he …
What? You’re still here? Sorry, nothing to see here, I was just hoping to get into the Lib Dem Voice Golden Dozen next week and this seemed like the best way to do it.
Laters!
This comment is designed to exploit the inevitable large number of hits this post will generate to drive traffic to my own site.
LMAO!
Aw my smart-arse satirical comment got caught by James’ spam filter.
You can’t do funny spam 🙁
I set it free!
He’s 16 years old.
Feel better now? 😉
I won’t fill better until I top the poll. World domination through misleading blog titles, that’s the plan.
Why the evil Vendetta against me?
And What did I do, exactly?
And like you said if I have become a “Celebrity” I thought you would be someone who would actually be happy about that, as you are one of the Bloggers, that got me interested into blogging , James.
And its Pendle (famous for the Pendle Hill and Lord Tony Greaves) and Saj Karim was my ex Employer and I knew him, he is a rat a person who thinks to much of himself. And a lot of people in Pendle would tell you he is a rat even Conservatives (his new Party) and the Labour Party!
If I was running an ‘evil vendetta’ against you, wouldn’t I actually be accusing you of something?
I just really, really want to get at the top of the Golden Dozen this week and this is clearly the way how. In fact I’m thinking of putting ‘Irfan Ahmed’ in all my blog titles from now on. Millionaires’ Row here I come!
Don’t worry about James, Irfan. At first he seems like a big bully, but in fact, deep down, I mean really really deep down, he’s just a squidgy old teddy bear with a highly secreted sense of humour. 😉 🙂
Use of “EXCLUSIVE” – Check
“Irfan Ahmed” in the heading – Check
Heavy use of sarcasm – Check
You’re a shoo-in
Gavin – not sure the sarcasm helps me. In fact, I’m pretty certain it will get me shot one of these days.
I didn’t say it wasn’t risky, just that it would get you traffic (by the way, how would you feel about a little fake death stunt to drive up hits?)
Can I get sponsorship from Toto Politico?
* can’t get the image of James as a furry out of head since Paul’s comment *
DAMN YOU comment notification…
He should be forced to save a Bank out of his pocket money!
“with a highly secreted sense of humour”.
Do you mean hidden or formed from slow permeating drips of some unpleasant fluid?
You’re all extremely mean, by the way. *adjusts pince-nez*
Gavin the fake death stunt could easily be arranged by a shrinking of say Linlithgow Loch bound to shot up the hit count. 😉
Of course the bit we shrink would be the aprt that contains the body containly a deep, deeply secreted sense of homour.
Apart from all the quips I’d like to say that Irfan Ahmed did actually have a point. Yes, verging on the libellous was not a good idea but ….. since when have we as a party sided with the people in power who are trying to hide something? I like David Shutt and I’ve nothing against Ros (Valladares?) as a person as I don’t know her but they have not got to grips with investigating why three other members of the House of Lords have brought the Liberal Democrats into disrepute. Time to do it!
I think you need to look at the date of the article above, Judith.
I’ve kept my own council up to now but that does not mean that I have been in agreement with the party hierarchy. It is now time to renew my subscription – or not!
Thinking about it.
